Documentation Errata

Documentation Errata for AnswerBook2 Server

Book Affected: Traditional Chinese version of Installing and Administering an AnswerBook2 Server

Documentation Errata for PDA Online Help

Section Affected: PDA Online Help

When viewing online help, the icon for a missing image appears on various pages.

The missing image icon represents an up arrow icon. When you click on the up arrow icon, you are returned to the top of the HTML page. Even though the up arrow icon is missing, clicking on the missing image icon returns you to the top of the page.

In the About PDASync section of online help, under the heading Desktop Memo Initialization Procedures, Steps 3, 4, and 5 appear to have missing or incomplete information. The HTML document has incorrect formatting information.

Steps 2 and 3 are one step, and Steps 4 and 5 are one step.

Section Affected: Getting Started with PDASync Under the Heading The PDASync Application

In the Getting Started with PDASync section of online help, under the heading The PDASync Application, the last paragraph states, "PDASync supports most Palm Pilot Computing platform handheld devices, including the Palm V, Palm III and Palm Professional
Edition."

This statement is misleading, and suggests that PDASync may not work with all Palm Pilot devices. PDASync works for all Palm Pilot devices.

Section Affected: Getting Started with PDASync Under the Heading Setting the Port

In the Getting Started with PDASync section of online help, under the heading Setting the Port, Step 2 states, "Select the port (A, B or C) to which you connect the PDA." This information is misleading.

Depending on the hardware features of your machine, PDASync may display different ports when listing the available serial ports to which you connect the PDA. On most machines, /dev/term/a and /dev/term/b are displayed.

Section Affected: Tasks

Section Affected: Tasks Under the heading To Cancel Synchronization

Selecting Cancel aborts the current synchronization request.

Section Affected: Reference Under the heading To View the Activity Log

In the Reference section of online help, under the heading To View the Activity Log, online help states that PDASync will not iconify if an error occurs, even if you select the "Iconify application window after synchronization" option.

PDASync does iconify when an error occurs.

Section Affected: Reference Under the heading To Save or Print the Activity Log

In the Reference section of online help, under the heading To Save or Print the Activity Log, online help states that one can save the log to a file.

This feature is no longer available.
